GROUP
DANCE
CLASSES
Fun, Laid-Back & Judgment-Free!
If you’re tired of “sitting this one out” while everyone else hits the dance floor, let Sway Dance get you ready to boogie at your next office party, vacation, or night on the town.
Our classes will prepare you for any number of social events or simply provide you with an arsenal of moves just in case you’re challenged to a impromptu dance-off. Because we don’t require you to have a partner, a group class is the perfect way to meet new people and learn how to dance in a fun, relaxing, and social environment.
Salsa/Bachata
Starter Class
This class will start at the very beginning of both Bachata and Salsa to work our way up to having enough moves to show off at your favorite dance club. Nothing beats the energy and live music at Alhambra on a Tuesday night, and with the knowledge from this class in your back pocket, you’ll be able to join the fun on the dance floor.
This class will teach Latin frame, how to lead/follow your partner, and basic footwork. It’s a progressive class that will touch on Salsa and Bachata each week and build upon what we learned in previous weeks.
After 6 weeks, you will be able to dance basic figures and turns for both leader and follower.
Salsa/Bachata
Level 2
In our Level 2 we pick up where you left off in Level 1. Now that you have the basics, we will add more figures to your Salsa and Bachata.
This 6 week class will add 4-5 new figures and variations in each Bachata and Salsa. With this class, you’ll be showing off on the dance floor in no time.
No partner is required to take this class.
After you complete Latin Level 2, you graduate to Intermediate Latin, where we will add Cha-Cha to the dance card.
Intermediate Latin Salsa/Bachata/Cha Cha
In Latin 3, we add Cha-Cha to the mix. Cha-Cha is a fun and lively dance that originates from Cuba.
This progressive class will use the Latin frame we already know, while learning a new basic, new timing, and some fun new moves. We will also build upon our Salsa and Bachata skills and create opportunities to go out and dance as a class.
If you’re paying attention, you may even notice some similarities to other styles around the studio.
Swing
Starter Class
From the classics of Benny Goodman to the modern hits from Electric Swing Circus, Chicago has a great swing scene with plenty of opportunities for social dance.
Our Swing Starter class is great for anyone who wants to learn a new skill or dust off the cobwebs.
This progressive class will build on itself to add more advanced figures each week. After 6 weeks, you will know the proper swing frame, how to lead/follow your partner, and be able to dance basic figures and turns before your next night on the town.
Swing Level 2
In Swing Level 2, will add twists, turns, and other variations to the basics that we learned in the Swing Starter class.
During this 6 week class, you will learn more swing moves to help build your confidence on your next night out.
As usual, no partner is necessary, but always welcomed.
